Ireland is set for a miserable week as Met Eireann has issued a brutal forecast.
The country is set to be lashed by heavy rain, powerful gusts, thunderstorms, as well as possible snow, according to the national forecaster. Additionally, the first storm of the season is currently on the way.
Carlow Weather forecaster Alan O'Reilly said: "Latest high res charts show a very wet Tuesday and some models still have a risk of strong gusts but most show strongest winds tomorrow night and into Wednesday. Risk of over 20mm rainfall in parts of the south and higher ground. Showers also possibly turning wintry at night."
